Titles with sex elements such as Grand Theft Auto – in which players can visit prostitutes – are on the rise, the BBFC said.
'Sex is nowhere near as common as violence but is becoming more common,' said a BBFC spokeswoman.
Do sex and video games mix? Should the content be toned down or will we end up with sexually violent games as the norm?

if your worried about you kid getting too much sex from TV, movies and video, be a better parent and don't let your kids watch these movies, and shows or play these games. it's as simple as that.

i don't see why sex in a videogame is exciting at all in the first place.
real sex is far better.

I personally don't care for sex in video games, why would I pretend to have sex in a video game when I can just jump on my lover? That's me though, if people wanna enjoy the eroticism of pixels, knock yourself out.
JUST don't take away my violence. I don't what I would if I couldn't vent out on Gears 2 or Halo 3.

It's not necessarily an outlet, but rather an experience.

Eh... Video games have ALWAYS been violent.
Do you think Mario was making friends with all those Koopa Troopas? No, he was smashing and incinerating them.
Most games, even going back to the original Atari, involve killing or hurting something.
The only thing that's changed are the graphics.
Sex shouldn't be a surprise either. Kids who grew up gaming are now gaming as adults. As long as there's a warning label, it's no different then R rated movies.
The problem is the false perception that games are only for kids.

If someone does not like sex in video games, then they should just not buy the video games with sex.
Problem solved.

What captures the attention seems to be that 1. It's a video game; 2.There's more "sex" and less actual "love" in the eroticism in GTA and other awesome titles.

Sex and eroticism do not require love. Love is an emotional thing, sex is a physical thing. But, just because it's physical, doesn't mean that it's lacking artistic or narrative merit.

We need more sex and less violence in video games, movies and life in general.

I don't get the big deal. Sex is an all natural process that's been keeping us alive for millions of years. All these "moral" a.k.a. anal people are making such a big deal out of it. Censorship is even worse.

Sexy movies and TV is huge (at least in America) and no one really cares about that. People forget that games are for adults, too. I would never suggest to someone that their kids play Manhunt or GTA; those games are targeted for adult use and are certainly not something a 10-year old should be playing.
It's like animation. Most adults think cartoons are strictly for kids and my sanity is called into question when I say my favorite TV shows are Venture Bros., Robot Chicken and Cowboy Bebop.
People just need to get out of their comfort zones and accept that games aren't just for kids.

Agreed! Sex is a part of the human condition and as such ties into the arts and narratives, which games include. Once art is censored, it becomes weak.

It's just an issue when it's a "gay" thing. I don't think activity to stop them would be going this slow if these games had homosexual sex scenes.
